Abstract

This paper gives a survey of problems connected to decentralized fixed modes. Several methods to avoid or to cancel them are presented. Then, the design of optimal decentralized control is treated.

It provides all the necessary elements that will permit to treat completely an optimal decentralized control problem. Although the existence of fixed modes is undesirable, we are having all the necessary tools to face this situation successfully with a minimum additional cost.
